Congrats! The new PO and SMP are definitely growing on me, after initially being turned off by the hype surrounding the new 45mm chrono, its thickness and new prices.

Don't worry about it. I need more time to get ready to buy it from you

I just can't imagine spending over $7000 for an omega. If I were to spend that much, might go for a submariner or panerai.

Just to let u know...I didn't spend 7K or 6K....But you're right hard to think about spending that on a company where you could buy a nicely used PO for $2200 and or get 20-30% off retail...Those days might be over.

Any of the companies that have introduced watches w/in-house movements
(Breitling, DJean Richard, etc) are all over 7K....

How about the Sinn EZM10 at $5500+ (not on bracelet)and not a pure in-house....

That's going to be Omega's challenge...can they run w/Rolex because that is who they want to be...I'm not sure they can, but who knows....

The new line of PO's, the PO Chrono, the Aqua Terra GMT seem to be high quality pieces...

Mike

Love you Mike, in a watch geek way of course;)

The new PO is a great watch. Nice pickup. The price is a little steep but omega raised the bar with this one.

Congrats Mike! I ended up sticking with my 2201.50 w/ the 2500D but I love the new 8500's. Sweet watch for sure.

Thanks Mike and Nick...Great job by Omega on the 2500D and 8500..
